Indulging in the intrigue of a hidden reveal, a breezeway guides you around the exterior and through a concealed courtyard before unveiling the view. The roof floats above you, and the hillside falls away into the forest beyond. The design draws on the clean lines of the towering pines, and there’s an openness and complete freedom of movement in the communal areas, with private spaces subtly offset hardly noticeable except to those within.

The Snow White Residence is a full remodel and addition to an existing 1960s condominium building located in Sugar Bowl, California. As the only snow bound village in the Sierras, the resort’s unique landscape acts as an idyllic backdrop for this jewel box retreat, offering uninterrupted views of the mountains beyond.

The design of the space itself works in stark contrast with the traditional chalet features of the original building. Upon entry, one is instantly immersed in the world of this serene getaway. Featuring plaster walls, natural oak finishes and a fully stainless steel kitchen, this escape is intended to be a calming environment away from the client’s daily life.

Nestled among the towering pines of Sugar Bowl, this contemporary mountain residence is designed in quiet dialogue with its alpine surroundings. Expansive floor-to-ceiling glazing, warm cedar cladding, and natural stone anchor the home within the landscape, while its clean, horizontal lines frame sweeping views and invite the forest and changing seasons into the living spaces.

Sanderson

Set within Napa Valley's open landscape, this contemporary residence balances restrained architecture with a strong connection to its surroundings. Expansive glazing, deep cantilevered rooflines, and a refined palette of steel, wood, and concrete dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, framing vineyard and hillside views while extending the living spaces into the surrounding gardens and terraces.
